The Founder-Parent Myth: Fluvio's CEO, Devon O’Rourke, on Why Having Kids Isn't What You Think
Description
As the host of Founders and Empanadas, I've had the privilege of sitting down with many entrepreneurs to explore the intersection of business and life's major milestones. My recent conversation with Devon O'Rourke, founder of Fluvio, was particularly enlightening. We dove into how becoming a new parent will change your life— but maybe not as much as you might think.Over spicy mystery-meat empanadas (which we later discovered were chicken), Devon shared how his journey into fatherhood coincided with his most successful month at Fluvio. What struck me most was his approach to preparing for paternity leave – instead of micromanaging every detail, he empowered his team with greater autonomy. This trust-based leadership not only resulted in record revenues but also demonstrated how parenthood can push us to build more resilient organizations.
